[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the purpose of the controlled choice sets when the choices are basically the neighborhood schools closest to you. I am fortunate to live in ward 3 and my "choices" are Murch, Janney or Lafayette. What is accomplished by allowing families to lottery in to one of these schools. It does not increase the OOB or EOTP % at those schools. It's not like someone in Ward 8 is getting a WOTP school in his or her "choice set." Seems like this goal can be achieved with neighborhood schools and OOB set asides. [/quote] They will probably apply different scenarios to different parts of the city. i.e. Northwest and East of the River stick with one neighborhood school, Center City gets choice sets,[/quote] Thereby reinforcing "Fortress Northwest" and exacerbating inequality EOTP. Good job DME![/quote]
